  • So let’s get started started with an example: Let’s say that I am college graduate with a few solid years of experience and I am looking to advance my career.  I’ve been thinking about getting an MBA but recently someone sent me a recent salary survey by Project Management Institute that showed project professionals with Project Management Professional or PMP earn 22% more than non-credential holders. Can you speak to me about the cost differences and return on investment?
  • You mentioned time. Can you tell more?
  • As a business school professor, CEO of a project management consulting and training company, and a working practitioner whom I believe has recently won an award for success project delivery, you have strong credibility in all these arenas.  Which do you recommend: MBA or other graduate degrees or a project management certifications such as a PMP?
  • Tell me more about the project award that your team has recently won?
  • Now PMO Advisory is also a training company. Tell me more about the “training that you preach”.
